Another lovely day. Busied myself
in reading the Bible and
Youngs "Night Thoughts". They have been
at work on the wheel-house all day,
fixing it up so it will hold. there were
two or three boats got over the bar to day
One of this regiment died to day. said
of a great battle in Kentucky in which
the rebels were defeated and Gen.
Zollicoffer killed. I was guilty this evening
of amusing myself with a puzzle of
numbers which Capt Messenger proposed
and also of joining in levity unbecoming
on the Sabbath. May God in His infinite
mercy forgive me through Christ His
Son. Have received no letters yet since
I left Annapolis. O how full of anxiety
my dear friends must be in regard to
me, but they are in Gods hands and
He will sustain them. May He soon
in great mercy return me to them in
safety, the war being ended and peace declared.
